This is a beautiful antique cotton child's kimono with hand dyed motifs of crane and pine.

For the Japanese, the crane—or tsuru—is considered a national treasure, appearing in art, literature, and folklore. The crane is regarded as a symbol of good fortune and longevity because of its fabled lifespan of one thousand years.

Similarly, the pine is associated with virtue, a motif of winter, and New Year. It stands to reason that these symbols would be incorporated into a child's kimono, wishing the wearer good fortune and long life.
